CVE-2009-0781 is a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Calendar application bundled with Apache Tomcat example web applications. Invalid HTML handling renders the application's XSS filtering ineffective, allowing attacker-controlled content supplied in the time request parameter to be reflected as arbitrary HTML or script. Affected versions are Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.39, 5.5.0 through 5.5.27, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.18.
